Each time I have the need for an image converter for a WPF application, I end up searching the web looking for a sample, so this time, I’m putting a sample somewhere I can find it again easily. Below is a basic IValueConverter implementation to convert a file name into a BitmapImage located in an images folder.
Code for Sample Project
public class IconImageConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { // if value isn't null, we can safely do the conversion. if (value != null) { string imageName = value.ToString(); Uri uri = new Uri(String.Format("/Images/{0}", imageName), UriKind.Relative); return new BitmapImage(uri); } return null; } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } }by
bookmarked!!, I love your site!
Okk, great.
